Journey Language Center - Boulder, Colorado

My family and I are moving to Spain for an immersion year and to spend quality time with my husband's family. David swiftly assessed our needs and set myself and our 4 daughters up with private lessons 2x a week. He has a crackerjack team of instructors including Piedad, Andrea, and Ericka who have met us with enthusiasm, kindness, and creativity. Classes range from meeting up downtown to learn new culinary vocabulary on a walk through Peppercorn, to playing card games and coloring, or playtime in the park, all while speaking in Spanish. My girls not only look forward to their classes, they ask me when the next ones are. I feel exactly the same. When we return, we will resume classes to maintain our Spanish and to continue improving. David and his team are flexible, reliable, communicative, and above all excellent at getting us to speak and expanding our knowledge and experience of the language. Could not recommend them more highly. Thank you

I would very much recommend the Journey Language Center! I have been taking Spanish lessons since January 2020 and have noticed a lot of progress! I started with in person lessons which I very enjoyed. But I need to admit the the video lessons (done through Zoom video due to the covid-19 situation) are awesome as well and the learning process is fun! Plus you can practice Spanish from the comfort of your couch! 🙂
David has been a wonderful instructor and with taking private lessons it has given me scheduling flexibility, and also an opportunity to choose topics I wanted to work on every week. Highly recommend, especially if you feel like you have an extra time these days and want to learn/improve Spanish in a fun & effective way!

Journey Language Center is a fantastic teaching school. I began classes last summer and am totally addicted to them. I started by taking a 6 week class then took several months off before returning for my second set of weekly classes. Again, I took several months off before returning for my twice weekly private lessons with David. Each new session included a review of what I had learned and continuation from where we left off. David is a fantastic instructor, making learning Spanish fun and easy. He is very professional and at the same time keeps the classes fun and entertaining. I feel very good about my progress including my enunciation and vocabulary. I plan to register for more classes as my schedule permits. I'd recommend Journey Language Center for anyone wanting to learn a new language!
Thanks for your patience and instruction, David! 🙂

There are many ways to learn a language. But if you're looking to connect with others and use your new language skills right away, JLC is the place. I was completely new to Spanish, but my teacher Jay started with the absolute basics and it helped me learn pronunciation quickly and easily. I really appreciate how the classes incorporate grammar, conversation, and cultural topics. Jay is very friendly and joining this class has made speaking a new language less intimidating and more fun.

Last year I registered for an advanced ESL program at JLC Boulder to improve my English communication skills. The administration and my instructors were very professional and detail orientated. They tailored a program to my learning needs, and created a class schedule based on my availability. This year, I took Italian lessons at JLC Longmont and I had the same wonderful learning experience in both of my in-person and online classes. My Italian instructor was very didactic and included several cultural topics along with the grammar ones. It was worth every dollar I invested in my education here. I am looking forward to resume my Italian classes soon!

I would very much recommend the Journey Language Center! I have been taking Spanish lessons for a few months and have noticed a lot of progress! The instructors are awesome and the learning process is fun. David has been a wonderful instructor and with taking private lessons it has given me scheduling flexibility, and one on one learning to go at my pace. Highly recommend.

I have been taking Spanish Classes at JLC for a year now. The fun classes, lively conversation, and small class size make it easy to learn. The instructor incorporates cultural aspects into many of the lessons. I really enjoy learning about the people, climate, history and foods of different Spanish speaking countries. Since starting classes here my confidence in speaking Spanish has really improved. Overall, the classes at JLC have been a wonderful experience!

My spouse and I have been taking Spanish classes with JLC for the past two months in prep for a trip to Panama. While the two of us have different levels of experience with Spanish (almost none v 4 years of study 20 years ago in high school), classes together have been great and keep us both engaged, challenged, and learning. The combination of classes taught by Jay and Hannah also works really well as we’re exposed to different dialects and teaching styles. They both tailor our classes and topics for our goals (in our case, focusing on conversations and vocal that will be particularly helpful when traveling). Both are a lot of fun as well - taking much of the pressure off the guaranteed struggles with learning a new language.

Scheduling is flexible. We mix in-person and virtual classes with ease. And we’re excited to start taking culinary classes from Jay as well!

Highly recommended! Thanks JLC.
